MGV and sway disconnect? Badlands is the best model by a log way.
Yep, as long as price is no object, the Badlands has the most capability.

In short here is what Iā€™d do if I had the opportunity to build another Bronco, not all options available from factory.

upgraded sound system
larger touch screen

rubber floors
power seats
marine vinyl seats
hood insulation
SAS suspension
adaptive cruise
save my money from buying LUX

Although you put a disclaimer that this isn't possible from the factory, you've selected every option that is included in the Lux Package, on your list. So what specifically included in the Lux package would you not want?

USB on dash, Iā€™ll probably never use, carpet on floor restricts the ā€œfunā€ you can have, ease of clean ability, rear cargo area carpeted now I have to buy a cargo floor liner, Iā€™d also not get the SAS as the measurement donā€™t really get you anything. Itā€™s mostly tire height. Iā€™d end up replacing factory rims anyway.

OK, this is the only Lux package item you'd want to remove then.

Not a Lux item.
My corrected statement should have been don't spend the money on the leather seats as it adds the carpet, but the power seats are nice. Also save your money from adding SAS package.

yep...big NO

lux doesnā€™t mean it comes with carpet.

ā€˜ā€™leather power seats means it comes with carpet, the vinyl NON-power seats comes with wash out floor.ā€ On badlands..reason being is they donā€™t want power seat mechanisms getting wet
I was confused about this so asked my dealer about this and he told me itā€™s not the vinyl seats that change the power seats but itā€™s the trim level. If I order the Lux package with vinyl seats he told me Iā€™ll still have power seats. Can any one confirm this?

Don't start with the hate. 2 reservation holder. Our flipper Bronco was a 2.7L, BL, 33" tires, mid package, tow. The keeper Bronco was SAS, BL, Sas, Lux, tow, leather. After spending 2,800 miles in the Flipper Brondo the 1st thing you notice is the stance. Second is how different they drive and sound. The upgraded speakers are a vast improvement over the base. We like the larger touchscreen over the smaller one the other interesting thing is the Apple carplay connects via Bluetooth where the smaller one needs connected with a cord. We actually like the marine grade vinyl over the leather but prefer the power seats, still no memory button.šŸ˜• Mid is so much easier to clean than the carpet floor, sand and dog hair. In short here is what Iā€™d do if I had the opportunity to build another Bronco, not all options available from factory.

We made the mistake of stopping at a local hardware store and we drew a crowd that lasted over 2hrs comparing the two side by side.



Interesting measurements
Floor to bottom of front fender - 1" differance
Flipper Bronco non SAS 37.5
Keeper Bronco SAS 38.5

Floor to bottom of rear fender - 1.5" differance
FB 38.75
KB 40.25

Floor to bottom of hitch - 1" differance
FB 18
KB 19

Floor to front tow hook center of hole - 3/4"
FB 24.5
KB 25.75

Centerline of hubs to bottom of flare
Front 3/4" differance
Rear 1/2" differance

Driving the SAS seems more composed over bumps, and Lux package makes it sound quieter. Well the DB meter tells a different story the DB level is the same 77. You definitely hear less tire noise with the SAS. The hood insulation definitely makes a huge differance with engine noise (turbo) on the Lux, carpet helps too. First pic is Lux, SAS, BL second is Mid, BL. Hope they post in the order I loaded them.

The dealer is wrong see the details on build and price to confirm... vinyl - no power seats and leather has power seats. I used badlands 2022 model. Lux doesn't have a mention of power seats.
